After using this for a few days, I've determined that enabling HWCursor does not actually fix the problem. At least not long term. It actually seems as though HWCursor has been switched off (although it is still enabled in my xorg.conf) I'm not exactly sure how HWCursor works, but... First when I enabled it, when I would spin the cube with my mouse, no matter what my settings in CCSM, the mouse cursor would always be overlayed on top of the cube while it was spinning. During this time I was also not affected by the bug described above, hence my previous comment. Now, the computer has not been restarted and my xorg.conf has not changed, but if I spin the cube the mouse cursor disappears while it is spinning and I am again affected by this bug.
Also, this bug affects more than just Firefox. It seems that any window that can put the mouse into a "waiting" state (e.g. spinning wheel and/or hourglass) will make the mouse cursor disappear as well. For example Synaptic, if I do a search for anything, while it is searching, if I place the mouse cursor over the synaptic window, the mouse cursor will disappear. Outside the window or even on the titlebar or window border and the mouse is shown and correctly changes as it should with context (e.g. resize window). I hope that helps clarify it a little. -- Cursor Disappears - Nvidia Card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
